CISOs and senior leaders often do not speak the same language about cybersecurity. This communication gap leads to ineffective conversations about threats, risks, and performance indicators. As a result, organizations can struggle to make informed, risk-based decisions.
Mandiant executive services use board communications, executive KPIs, tactical engagements, and tailored mentorship to help an organization’s diverse senior leadership team define and reach risk reduction goals, prepare for incidents, and learn to communicate with non-security executives and board members.
